My lappy is crippled

[ian]

Im having terrible problems with my laptop,its so very slow and keeps crashing I cant log into UKV properly and i have a sale to complete with Stevo.Paypal wont let me send money and i need to get it into PC world asap.Ive tried using the restore disk but its made no difference,grr Could someone kindly let Stevo know whats going on for me plese?im so annoyed and have never had problems to this extent before.Im not sure how long this will continue and dont have the skills to fix it,any advice would be extremely helpful.

Oh dear! Who is Stevo and I will try to contact him. If he doesn't know already he will want to know what operating system you're using.

I don't often get problems with my lappy but when I do, rebooting is my first resort (which you will have done for the restore); then I get Advanced System Care to fix any registry problems; then my antivirus program; then SuperAntiSpyware; then Malwarebytes.

If none of that helps you may need to format your hard drive

You haven't seriously overcrowded the hard drive, have you?

If it's a hardware problem there's nothing much you can do about it.

Hi mate laptops are my nightmare but heres a whirly for you do you defrag rgular as this is a must for all comp users.As it can help your disc to stay in tip top condition.

first run download and run this:

www.piriform.com/ccleaner

Make sure you run the cleaner and close all broswers and after youve run the cleaner run the rgistry cleaner.

then get this:

www.safer-networking.org/en/download/

Update then run a check

then try this:

www.malwarebytes.org/

And run your anti virus software in safe mode either press F2 OR F5 at start mode and make sure you run in safe mode without networking.

Hope you can do this without your laptop dieing mate.

Hope this helps

If you can burn mate try and get your self a copy of this :-

It'll take him all night to do all that, with the state his lappy is in - he must have some progs already installed that he can use ???

Who is this Stevo? Must be someone who knows Ian and can phone him.

Hi mate just an update I have sent stevo a message for you as it wasnt hard to find what mod you had been wanting to buy of UKV.

Hope this helps you out mate

Roachie,
What you just did is the same as going towards a man that just got his knee shot and say: " dude you must move that, first you go to that pool and swim 1mile while washing that, then put on your tennis and run half a marathon! In the end, get on your bike and ride to the nearest cliff, put on a bandage and do some bungee jumping!"
xD
Jk... Hope you can soet it out Ian! Sorry for jokin' around!

Lol i know you see cause i know my way around comps sorry if it was too much info just trying to help the poor soul out as he said he couldnt get the restore CDs to work.I know what its like when i aint gotta comp

[ian]

Ive managed to make Stevo the payment but it took a very log time,so thats done,phew As for all this burning and computer talk i wish i knew what it all meant Thanks for your help Scyla and Roachie but i reckon taking it into PC world will be my best bet,hopefully ??? I took out insurance for what ever happens cover so hope i am indeed covered for repair.Ive been using it for nearly a year with no issues but this is somthing else Slow is an understatement,its just freezing up and not performing at all.

[roachieuk (aka eciggery2011)]

Sorry mate as i always think everyone knows what im talking bout lol and glad you got it done mate.Least if you hadnt mate i sent him a PM for you just luckily i knew my way around UKV quick enough lol

I'm with roachie on the attempted fix yourself although I prefer Glary Utilities to ccleaner as I find it works better and fixes more things.
I'd also run a Trend Micro Homecall as a precaution too.

[roachieuk (aka eciggery2011)]

Ian mate your not using fire fox are you?

As its going really slow of late.
